DESCRIPTION:
2x12" Nu- Disco/ Deep Jazz Flavad House- Pressed on a Gold 12 Inch with a free 7 inch Black Dinked Vinyl in the Reserve Generic Sleeve & Shrink-Wrap.

RNT takes a trip south with some fresh modern takes on a pair of Colombian tropicalia classics from the 1970s! Sisters Elia and Elizabeth Fleta recorded some of the most beloved rare groove from Baranquilla’s early-70s period, and when Jaime Tuiran (Vagabundo Club Social) brought the project to label owners Aaron Dae and JKriv, they jumped at the opportunity to work with such rarefied source material.

On the A side, the mysterious newcomer producer Demi Riquisimo crafts a synth-laden tropical opus of a remix of Elia y Elizabeth’s signature hit 'Alegria' and the ever solid Parisian Yuksek works the tune into a concise and mid tempo disco stomper.

On the flip, Bostonian-come-Colombian BOSQ turns 'Soy Una Nube' into an uptempo soul banger, and Baranquilla natives Vagabundo Club Social lend their homegrown organic and clubby style to their mix of 'Alegria' The perfect blend of earthy OG soul with modern and musical production, this record is as colorful and vibrant as the streets of Baranquilla during Carnaval. And RNT is throwing in a 7Inch with solid new masters of the original songs on heavyweight wax, to boot!



Razor-N-Tape takes a look back to some of their classic material here and enlist some fine talents to remix it. Mysterious newcomer producer Demi Riquisimo takes care of the opener with a remix of Elia y Elizabeth's signature hit 'Alegria' that is brilliantly tropical and new age. Parisian Yuksek then also works the same tune into a lush mid tempo disco stomper. Reverse the 12" and you'll find Bostonian-come-Colombian BOSQ flipping 'Soy Una Nube' init a soul enriched banger and Baranquilla natives Vagabundo Club Socia close things out with some up tempo funk and precise drum work. The originals are also included for extra oomph

Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Elia was born March 22, 1953 and Elizabeth, May 29, 1954, both in Bogotá, the eldest of three sisters and a brother of Spanish parents. Their family moved to Barranquilla when they were little, and at the age of 5 and 6 they began guitar lessons. They were granddaughters of Spanish tenor Miguel Fleta, whose daughters Elia y Paloma Fleta also formed a duo, which achieved fame in the fifties, and their mother's parents sang and their grandmother played the piano. As teenagers they moved to Lima, Perú, and in 1971 recorded a single in Spain, where their father had moved briefly, arranged by Juan Carlos Calderón. Back to Colombia, they recorded in the early seventies two LPs for Codiscos label, whose songs "Hay que vivir la vida", "Mis 32 dientes" and "Alegría" became hits. They didn't make a career in pop music, and their activity lasted for only three years. Elia belongs to the congregation of Teresianas de Poveda, traveling and living in many places, while Elizabeth was married. Read more on Last.fm.
